A/N: Here's chapter 8 of 'A Sinnoh Destiny'. June explains the whole June Smalls --- Prof. Rowan thing and she receives something.

(I'm so sorry I didn't post this until now, but I'd been kinda upset over something. And my computer hates me. Mostly, my computer hates me. But I almost finished chapter 2 of A Millennium Journey, I'll post it soon.)

Thanks to all my reviewers:

Anicrazy (x2): You know what's so weird? When I looked at my original list of what Pokemon each of the characters will get, I actually gave June a Gallade! 0.O Coincidence, no?

Jarkes: Thanks! Oh, and don't worry: The preview…was kinda meaningless. Unless you want to see if you can get poisoned by Professor Rowan's cooking, that is. ¬.¬

Plusleluver: You'll find out how June is related in this chapter.

CuddleyEeveeM: Thanks! No, you were reviewer #1.

????: I finally updated, sorry for the wait!

gaara-kun39: I thought of it as I was writing. -.-;; I thought it'd be a good plot twist.

Duckiegoesqwack: Thanks for pointing out the mistakes; I fixed all of them.

Alexisrpokegirl: I gave you the preview, right?

roxiepluto: No worries about the late review. I should say sorry for posting this so late…

Oh yeah, I kinda need some staff (around 1-3 people) for my C2: New Beginnings: The Untold. (For original trainer stories) One thing though: if you are a staff member, you cannot add your own story there without my permission. PM me if you want to be part of the staff.

'A Sinnoh Destiny' Chapter 8: Explanations, Eggs, and Evil
Previously:

Alexis and June watched the Galactic members leave, hopping onboard their motorcycle while Cyrus yelled their ears off on the other end of the phone line.

"Are you okay?" Professor Rowan asked the girls.

"Shouldn't we have asked you that?" the brunette replied.

"Yeah, Grandpa, are you all right?' June asked the Professor.

"GRANDPA?!" Alexis said in shock. Why did June just call Professor Rowan 'Grandpa?

"So, to make a long story short," the petite blond began to say, sipping her cup of tea. "I'm related to Prof. Rowan."

When Alexis looked at her with a questioning glance in the depths of her green-gray eyes, June sighed. "When my mom, Lilia Smalls, married my dad, who is Rowan's son, she didn't change her last name. When I was born, my parents decided I should follow my mom's last name instead of my fathers so I don't have any 'problems' later on." She took another sip of the tea. "But it doesn't change anything, 'ya know."

"Stunky?" June's purple stunk Pokemon asked cutely, looking up from its snack of Pokefood.

The blond smiled at her only Pokemon, and looked up when she heard her grandfather approaching the living room.

"Dinner's going to be ready in an hour." The professor stated, before leaving the room again.

"Rowan cooks?" Alexis whispered, before looking at her Pocketch to confirm it was 7:00 P.M.

"I-I hope not…" June said nervously. If we're lucky, that is, she thought silently, grimacing at the thought of the Professor cooking.

June sat down in her seat, and stared at the beautiful platters of, supposedly, delicious food. I wonder if it's edible…she thought, poking the food with her fork. If only I had a needle. If it turned black, then I'd know for sure if it was poisonous.

"Plusle!" the red Cheering Pokemon suddenly bounded into the blonde's arms, "Plus plus plusle!" it cooed, cuddling into June's arms.

"Plusle!" June said, surprised to see her childhood friend. "Where did you come from?"

"She came from the kitchen, the little thing," Melanie, Professor Rowan's cook, came into the room, wearing an apron and carrying a ladle in her hand. "Come on, Plusle! We've got dessert to make!"

June's eyes almost popped out of her head. "Plusle helped cook?"

Melanie looked at her with laughing gray eyes, even though she didn't smile. "Of course, he was so excited to have you come for a visit. So, I decided to name him the Honoree Chef for tonight!"

Plusle nodded, then jumped out of June's arms and walked into the kitchen, grabbing the mini apron Melanie handed him and donned a chef hat.

"Oh my…" June looked next to her to tell Alexis she should eat, but after seeing her plate being piled with food, she shook her head. The blond took some ramen from the table and began eating it. At least now she knew Prof. Rowan didn't make it, so for all she cared, if he didn't make it, then it was definitely edible.

She could hardly believe Plusle made this. Her little friend should be hired for a cooking job!

"David wanted you to have this," the Professor said, handing something to June. It looked like an oval in shape, but had delicate pink swirls over it. The egg was also creamish in color and had white spots on it. They had finished their delicious meal and were now having dessert.

The blond, who was busy slurping an ice cream cone, looked at it, then at the Pokemon Professor. "Who wanted me to have it?" she asked him worriedly. If it's him again, he's never going to get off my tail…

The Professor shook his head. "I knew you'd never take it if I told you who. But anyhow, DAVID wanted you to have it."

With complete stubbornness, June shook her hand toward the Pokemon egg. "I'm not taking it if it's from him. I'd rather have him die."

The Professor and Alexis sweat dropped, while Plusle sat next to June, slurping her melting ice cream cone, oblivious of everything.

"Why don't you just take it? If you don't, he's going to go call the police after you and report you as missing again."

"I DON'T CARE. HE COULD CALL THE POLICE OR ANYTHING. I'M NOT TAKING IT IF IT'S HIS!" June stated, stamping toward her 'guest' room, where she and Alexis were staying for the night. Plusle followed her, but not before finishing the ice cream cone in a single bite.

"Who's David?" Alexis asked Professor Rowan, once June was out of sight.

"Just a childhood friend of June's, but he has an unimaginable crush on her." The Professor answered, shaking his head. "But I didn't even tell her actual important information."

"What is it? I could tell her later."

The Professor looked gratefully at the brunette. "She could take Plusle with her to travel if she wants."

"Um…sure," Alexis began to say. Why does the Professor want her to take Plusle with him? Oh well, she'd be overjoyed anyway, she thought. "I'll tell her now!" With that, she ran up the staircase onto the second floor.

"Did Gramps really say that?" a shocked June asked her. When her friend nodded, she grabbed Plusle's hands (paws, whatever you want to call them) and flung her in a circle around the room in her happiness.

"Oops…" she said, when the Electric type went smashing against the wall, then fell downward onto her computer with dizzy eyes.

At night, while the full moon shone brightly onto Sandgem Town…

The figure of a tiny Pokemon walked toward a pink bookbag owned by no other than June. The Pokemon opened up the bookbag, while putting the oval shaped figure it held next to it. Then, the Pokemon shoved the oval into the bookbag and climbed in it himself, waiting for the day to wake up.

The next day…

June groaned, taking another tired step forward. "Why did we have to leave at 5:00 a.m.?" she asked, rubbing her sleep deprived eyes.

"So that we can get to Floaroma Town as quickly as possible," the trainer answered with a look of determination on her face. "You already know that Luna and Josh are probably already in Eterna winning their second badge or stuck in Eterna Forest, so we need to get there as quickly as possible."

"Why?" June almost yelled, but was too tired. She sat nearby a tree, shrouded in its cool shade.

"Because, we-" Alexis stopped mid-sentence when she saw the girl sit down. "Get back up on your feet now! We have a mission to accomplish!"

"At least Stunky Summers and Josh get to rest…" she muttered in a low voice.

"I have a mallet in my bookbag, you know!" Alexis called threatingly over her shoulder.

With a sigh, June began to catch up to Alexis. At least we could rest in Floaroma, she thought, unaware of the sleeping Pokemon in her bookbag with the 'thing'.

Meanwhile…

"Hey, give me the honey back!" a man yelled to the Galactic Grunts in front of him, a girl who had wavy brown hair and a boy with dark green hair. They were no other than Peter and Donnie, the grunts that had to 'man the toilets.' (Refer to ch.6)

"Not without a fight we won't!"

A/N: You know the drill.

Note: If you can guess correctly what Pokemon will hatch from the egg Professor Rowan wanted to give Alexis, tell me in your review. The first 5 (FIVE!) people to guess correctly will get to pick their prize:

1. You could choose 1 Pokemon that 3 of the characters (so far) in the story will have. If you forgot who they were, they were Alexis, June, Josh, and Stunky. If you want to count the Galactic Grunts and David, feel free to.

2. You could get a short preview of ch.9 or a preview of ch.3 of 'Millennium Journey'

Hint: It looked like an oval in shape, but had delicate pink swirls over it. The egg was also creamish in color and had white spots on it.

Ok, have your guess! Good luck! (And I promise to update faster next time. I only have to mail it to Anicrazy after I finish it, who will then beta it and mail it back to me. But be warned, Anicrazy: You can still get previews!)
